Why I heart Arginine.

I am loving the newest product by Advocare--MASS IMPACT. Then after reading recent publications from Amino Acids and Journal Applied Physiology I am even more fired up to take this product. Below is a quick summary from one of the publications.

Jason McKnight & colleagues from Texas A&M, in a review of literature, concluded that arginine supplements stimulate the growth of mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell) and promote the activity of brown fat--a highly thermogenic tissue that dissipates energy as heat rather than storing it as fat. Arginine supplements are a safe and effective way to reduce body fat, increase muscle mass, and improve metabolic health.
